Working on a 38 pickup project.
I need to replace a badly worn dovetail on my drivers door. Anybody ever done this, if so whats the best way to remove the old one? By the feel there seems to be a heavy plate inside the frame that this is attached to and I assume the plate is attached to the inside of the frame. The new dovetails come with holes that seem to line up with what look like weld depressions in the existing unit. My thought would be to grind the old off leaving as flat a surface as possible then plug weld the new in place.
Thoughts please.
Thanks Dave
